Starving by 10 a.m. and in the fridge at 11 p.m.? It’s not willpower. Ben shares the five foods he cut out to lose 19 pounds in 30 days, and why his cravings stopped first.

Back in 2007, I thought I had a willpower problem. I was hungry all the time, starving by 10 a.m. and raiding the fridge at night. Then I cut five specific foods out completely, and within 30 days I lost 19 pounds. Here’s what nobody told me: the cravings stopped first. In this episode, I walk you through those five foods, the research behind them, and what to expect when you cut them out.

If you feel like you’re at war with your body around food, this one’s for you.

In this solo episode, I share the five foods I removed in 2007 that helped me lose 19 pounds in 30 days and end my cravings. You don’t have a weight problem. You have a weight symptom, driven by hormones and inflammation. We don’t lose weight to get healthy. We get healthy to lose weight.

I cover Kevin Hall’s NIH study on ultra-processed food, then break down the five foods: liquid sugar, ultra-processed breads, boxed comfort foods, seed oil dressings and condiments, and alcohol. Plus the protein target I give all my students to quiet hunger hormones.

This was never a character flaw. It was a biological response.
